77-85, 7 more wins than last year, a good April and early May, a good August and September--and a bad-bad year in between.

deGrom, Wheeler, and Syndergaard (who completed a five-hit complete game shutout to finish 13-4 with a 3.03 ERA on the year) finished strong.

We'll see if they can continue on as a great 1/2/3, if Nimmo/Conforto/Rosario/McNeil can continue to grow together as a core, if they sign any help...we'll remain skeptical (we always do) but we will see where we are in 2019.

I'll tell you where I will be in 2019, though--

After 20 years of watching the Mets 3 hours behind NY here in Los Angeles County, I'll be watching them 5 hours AHEAD of NY...I'm headed for London at the end of November for at least 6 months, hopefully to stay, to try and settle there or elsewhere in Europe as an English teacher or teaching assistant.

Opening Day 2019 will be Opening Night for me!

Congrats. And someone smarter than me, namely Blue387, posted the article I just read and really enjoyed.

Shea - good luck in the UK. Hopefully it is a great opportunity.

Hopefully the Mets do enough in the off season to compete next year. I see the Nats taking a step back, and the Phil/Braves just get better. So the Mets have their work cut out for them. We will see if the organization finds something it hasn't shown in quite some time.

He's trailing 1-0 right now, but on that list of pitchers right now I'd take in the postseason over Kershaw (deGrom, MadBum, and Verlander) I forgot Lester.

6 strikeouts and he's been on so far once again for the Cubbies in the Wild Card Game.

Aaaaaaand almost 3 hours later, with the game over 4 hours, the Rockies and Cubbies are STILL going, 1-1 in the 11th in my kind of game...
